Show of hands – who prefers staying casual rather than dressing up on Christmas Day?
Okay, so I can’t exactly see your hands right now – but if you’re anything like me, you’re waving both hands in the air right now because casual is where it’s at. Not to diss dressing up, because I love a fancy dress and heels! However, on Christmas Day, I’m more than likely going to stay in my pajamas until it’s time to go have dinner with my family, at which time I’ll want to put very little effort into my outfit because I’m still groggy from my cocoa coma. I’ll admit, in between our morning gift sesh and our evening family dinner, I love to take a nap. It’s pretty much the only day of the year that it actually happens! Needless to say, staying casual – yet festive – is the way to go for me on Christmas Day.
That’s where a fantastic plaid vest comes in. I paired it with a very snuggly-warm turtleneck, and now this combo is one of my all-time favorites. These sweater vests are like wearing a blanket in public. Shh – don’t tell anyone the reason I love this outfit so much is because it feels like pajamas! It’s ideal for that transition from nap to family festivities.

I wanted to give this look the feel of chic chalet apparel.
In fact, I noticed that 90% of the winter pieces that are on trend recently have that aesthetic, and I’m here for it! So as not to make this outfit too bulky, I tucked in the turtleneck, added a belt, and slipped into my favorite velvet sock booties. Of course, the ensemble wouldn’t be complete without my signature wool hat. I’ve had this hat for years and it’s still the one I reach for most.
If you’re on the hunt for a great way to stay festive while casual on Christmas Day, then I 100% suggest a plaid vest. You can’t go wrong with a red or green version, but even white or blue would be lovely.
If I’m hosting Christmas, I’d rather dress down so I am comfortable doing everything I need to. I don’t mind dressing up but comfy is where it’s at!
This outfit is super cute! I love the addition of the comfy plaid vest!
Loving the red plaid for the holidays! Super cute on you!

Oo that plaid vest is the perfect combination of casual and festive! I love it! We are very casual as well during Christmas. The only time we dress up is when there are holiday parties leading up to Christmas. So funny how that works haha!

Girl I am SO with you on dressing casual for the holidays!!! I love the holiday cheer and spirit – huge fan of singing Christmas carols way before we should. But I feel the whole dressing up is another level that I don’t really enjoy in especially going over the top! I totally love this plaid vest! It looks cheery, bold, and fun! Also warm 😉 it goes so nicely with your velvet booties!!!

Super cute look! As much as I love the idea of dressing up, in reality, it’s usually leggings or joggers because we’re usually hanging out at home all day like you!
